Earthbind is formulated with surfactants which help break road surface tension, eliminating the need to pre-water a road prior to application. Lignosulfonates typically require a pre-water application.

Earthbind is not considered to be corrosive. Lignosulfonates are corrosive and are known to attack welded joints in steel and aluminum tanks and plumbing.

Earthbind does not attract animals to the road. Some animals are known to be attracted to the sugars in lignosulfonate. Larger mammals attracted to a road can be traffic hazards.

Earthbind can accumulate over several applications. Yearly maintenance applications require less product because of this build up. Lignosulfonates can wash off the surface and require regular maintenance shots.

Earthbind is a storage stable product. Lignosulfonates are known to acquire microbial infections which cause fermentation and product expansion resulting in inconsistent product density and possible tank overflow.

Earthbind availability is stable. Lignosulfonates are a by-product that can come from several different sources with varying quality, consistency and availability.
